While he stood looking through the bal lustrades of the bridge, some persons surrounded him ; one resting his hand upon his shoulder very heavily, as if desirous of seeing over his head. Not suspecting intentions of the persons who were near hint, he did not take any particular notice of them, until they had left the place Where he stood in rather an abrupt [wanner. He then felt in his breast-pocket and missed his pocket-book, con taining the property already Ment toned. He had no recolled:on whatever, of the prisoner, but hav ing had in his , pocket-hook, amongst other things, a,check, 'drawn by Lady Button, of Soho-square, on Messrs. Coutts and Co. he went to the bankitg house to stop payment thereof; and was desired by the clerk to be there early in the morning, as in all probability whoever committed the theft•wduld take the first' opportunity of cilling for the cash. Th - prosecutor accordingly went before nine &clock art the . ensuing morning, accempinied by Humphries, a Br 4-street officer, and in a few nil nutes, 'as.predicted, the prisoner came in tri.d ten-. tiered the check for payment, and was immediate ly secured. • On being asked how the check carne into his possession, .he said it had been given to him by a man in the street, who desited hini to get the - change, and waited his return without the door. Hntuphriea itninediately went out and, brought in a man whom he saw standing ^in the street; and asked the prisoner if that was the per: sow to whom he alluded : the prisoner, replied. in the negative. He was then conveyed to Bow street, and committed for trial. After his committal, he said man w Ito had been brought into the bank ing-Otiose was tne person who had given him the. check. 01 this,. howeVer, be was unable to pro duce. any proot. These facts t% ere proved by Mr. Stone, Hum phries the dicer, and one of the clerks oh . Messrs. Coutts and Co. The prsioner endeavoured to prove an alibi, but failed. The Learned Judge having given his charge to the Jury, they returned a verdict .of—au . Mr. ALLEY then stated, that; at the time of the apprehension of the prisoner, he had in his pocket the King's pardon for a forgery for which he haki bwit tried and convicted. LARCANY, Henry C•awley, a foreign sailor, was indiaed for stealing several foreign coins and ten shillings in halfpence, in the house of Samuel Wiggan, a pub lican, in Chufeh-lane, Whitechapel, and found guilty.

WitneSs having shortly after missed' his watch, be went in search of the prisoner, and found him in the town ; On taxing him with the theft, he confessed it, and said 'be had sold the watch to a, watch-maker,, named Handy, :tlir ten shillings, Witness then went to the shop of Mr. Handy, 'dud there found his w.,tch: These circhrnstmic.'s were supported by Mr. Handy and't he Constable to wbotu charge • was giA en of the prisoner. • The Jury returned a verdict of—Guilty. BUItGLAUY. Thomas Hale stood it.dicted for burglariously breaking and entering the dwelling-houw of Ji)lm Ord, Esq. at. Ful.b4n, •on the night of tiro 23d of August, and stt: aling therein various Articles Of plate, of consi.l: rable value; Joseph Lupton, the butler of the prosecutor, stat ed, that the prisoner lited'as fooimon in the service of Mr. Ord fourteen months, On the 23d of Au gust :here was a large party at his master's house' at Fulham, when the greater part of the family plate was in use, of which circumstance the prisoner was, of course, aware. On the evening of that day the prisoner, with the permission of his master, - went to sleep at. the town-house in Lincoln's-inn-fields in order that be might be.ready to go off ny-the coach to the country,lo see some friends, at an early hour the ensuing morning. Witness left the house at Fulham aboUt 12 o'clock at 'night, as he lodged in the village previous to hiS going, the plate was all safe, and every part of the house was secured, ex cept the door by which he 'went out, which was af terwards fastened by the underbinler. On coming 4o his business the next morning, at nine, he was in formed tlat the house had been broken open and the plate stolen. On' examining the pantry, he missed all the plaid specified in the inchtithent, which. he believed to be worth- upwards of sixty pounds. The tader-Butler deposed, that he had fastened the door after the last.witness, and having seen every other part of the house safe, went to lied. That about six in the morning he was called 'by the coachman, weo informed him that the house had 'been robbed ; and that on going down stairs he dis covered the robbd dr robbers had made their way into the house through a window which laoked upon the lawn, and which hae been guarded by six iron bars on the inside, and two woaden bars on the outside. On examination, however, he found that the wooden bars without had been forced aw ay, and one of the iron bars within ha been unscrewed and pUshed aside, so as to leave 'a space. sufficiently large to admit a man. On the ground outside the window he saw a pieCe of candle, which bad evidently been alight, andd-a bundle, of matches. This-witness also corroborated the testimony of Lupton, with resped to the prisoners having obtained permission from his master to go on a visit to his friends in the country, and his . having gone to town f6t that pur pose. `ll* coachman was next examined. He.stated, that on getting up at six in the morning, be yaw that the window, already described by the last .nels;'had been broken open. He immediately gave the alarm, and a' search was made whet), the plate was missed. The female servant who had the care of Mr. Ord's house in town, deposed, that on the night of the 23d of August the prisoner came to her; and begged she would prepare him a bed, as his master had given hint leave to sleep in town, on eccount of his going off at an early hour in the morning to see his friends. She complied with his request, arid about twelVe o'clock .he went to bed, and she short ly afterwards followed his example. She had not been long in her room, however, before she heard the prisoner go down stairs, and in about half qin hour afterwards the street door was opened and shut again. On her rising in the morning the prisoner did not make his appearance, and 'oh exaniining the bed which she had prepared for him, she was con vinced he had not slept, there. , She then went cliovn stairs, and by the appearance of the kitchen fire, and the hearth, she could perceive traces of melted iead; from which she interred that the prisoner had ern .ployed himself in melting lead, forsome Aeasoniliat she could not devise. Packhurst, the Police OtEcer, - Was the fattwitnesS examined, he stated,-that. he. was sent to . Mr. Ord's house, to ascertain whether. be 'could. disco'er a•ny circumstances which might •lead to, the detection of the robber. Havii'g examined the windoW already described, and being apprized of the other circum stances detailel, he immediately suspected the pri soner, and hiving feat nt the coach by which he was to go into the country, he \Cent to the Wilite Horse Cellar, in Piccadilly; where the first person he saw was the prisoner, sitting oti a small deal bok. He accosted him, and asked him tf the box sat. was his property, and ou his replying in the affirmative, witness accused - him Of TOubng his master, which he at first strenuously denied, but on being. handcuffed and placed in a hackney Coach, be burst into tears, said he had rOhhed :thy best of Masters, and observed' that the whole of the stolen Flare was in the box; which on examination proved, to be-the case. t On - Searching - thebox, there were alsofound a piece of crape,. vviiich it was sUspected had been tied over the prisoner's face when he com mitted - the robbery, a turnscrew, . and smile other implements useful in the perpetration of a burglary.' On the prisoner's person were found Sorne.pieces of, lead, cast in various -gems, together with swine loose gun-powder, and a duplicate fora pair of pistolS, which had been pawned that morning. From this !after discovery, it was presumed the unfortunate wretch intended to have defended himself,' had he 'men .opposed in his dishonest and tiilteherous con duct. The pawner had :loth; a:-.• to urge in hie defence. Mr. Justice BAILEY having sutntned up the evi dence with his wonted persptcuity, the Jury return ed a verdict of Guilty of stealing in a Elivelling-hoase above the value of forty shillings, which subjects the prisoner to capital punishment. Mal-9 Hurley was capitally convicted of stealing a feather bed, two blankets and a 'sheet, in the dwelling-house of Charles Zachary, in the'patish of Westminster, on the l ith of August last. It appeared that the prisoner had lived servant with ihe . prosecutor, who is a milkman, for six months and took: an opportunity, during his ab senCe, and after-she had left his . employment, to commit the theft charged against berf,,.. The. fact was clearly proved, but she was recommended to mercy by the Jury, in consequence of ber former goo.; character, to :which the prosecutor bore. testi mony, John Ualker and Christian liralker;' his wife, were capitally indicted for burglartously hreakiag and entering the house of William Boxer; at Beth nal-green, on the 30th of August, and stealing. therein thirty-six silvr r 'watches, three time-pieces, and various articles of wearing apparel. From the evidence adduced in this ,case, it, ap peared that the disCovery of these criminals was principally ,owing to the activity of,Sapwell the officer, who' from suspicions arising in the ..deters- , Lion Of Christian 'Walker, at a pawrbrokeifs„ for having off!rect a gown to pawn 'utid,:r very:doubt ful circumstance's, went to their lodgings in. Angel, alley, a well-known 'rendezVous tor thleyes, and there foUnd the 'Male prisoner, .Wlipm he searched, and on whose person he found two new w_atclies. On searching the roooi he alSo found ; f .

The prisoner, in his defence, put in 'a written paper, which was read. It Stated, that he 'hid ceived the watches 'to' t aWn from two mein,: of 'whom he had but a very slight knoWledge4 and who promised to call for 'the money at hisiodgings in lie evening.
